Ever since 1950, fathers in Finland have celebrated their day on the second Sunday of November. Father’s Day holds a little more prestige in Finland than in America. It’s a real flag-raising holiday there.

Families participate in whatever dad’s favorite thing to do is and offer him plenty of homemade presents and cards. They love to hunt in Finland, so an ideal gift would be new hunting gear or a trip with dad.
